Democracy is the best form of government we know of. Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. I want to live in a democracy. What kind of governemtn do yo want to live in. Ayn was was sociopath and very nasty woman. I have ream a lot on rand. Go to youtube and look at some of her interviews. Her philosophy-"greed is good" was nuts. Greed is bad! You have a better system than democracy?

Dan B: >>Ok, you are out there. You think elected leaders controlling them all in the "peoples interest" would be honest, efficient, and not sociopathic. Good luck with that.<< koan: We elect people we think best to represent us. That is democracy. And the best form of Government we know. What form of govenrnment would you suggest? Your sentence makes no sense. Corporations are, by their very nature, sociopathic. Democracy provides the conscience. Human by their veyr nature are not sociopthic, but instead empathetic.. Humans are by their very nature, a social animal and our strength has always been our compassion i.e. helping other members of the tribe when they are sick or injured or old.!!
